After having attended the premiere of Hamlet By Peyu and Albert Pla (not the Shakespearean one, to be precise), I left the theater fascinated by the mind-bending performance they had just given us. A mind-bending performance that has the virtue of creatively summarizing all the ills of a world running rampant and without brakes: people living in their bubble of obsessions and selfishness, dysfunctional personalities behind a veneer of normality, the absurdity of a world in which it is no longer possible to live without truly living.

The program Wise nature TV3 brought together the creative talents of comic book artist Peyu and musician Albert Pla. "I invited him to lunch in Muntanyola, I made some macaroni, and here we are," says the man from Osona. Now this unlikely pair reunites on a stage, an imposing stage like Barcelona's Coliseum Theatre, to perform their unique show. Hamletwhich has nothing to do with Shakespeare. From December 23rd to April 6th, two peculiar characters will be forced to share a hospital room.

Germà Capdevila, president of the association, emphasized that the Catalan-language magazine and newspaper publishing sector is a fundamental part of the country's cultural ecosystem and is often the driving force in other areas such as literature, music, and the performing arts: "Without a strong publishing network," the rest of the cultural sector suffers. Regarding the future of the organization, Capdevila stated that he will launch a new strategic plan for the next decade, structured around four key pillars: advertising, dissemination and distribution, promotion, and training. A total of twelve prizes and three lifetime achievement awards were presented. The prize for best publication was awarded to Solstice in the magazine category for its exquisite attention to detail and high level of care in all aspects, New Basin in the press for her exemplary career and in Time Out Barcelona In the digital category, it was recognized as a leading voice in the city's leisure and culture scene.

The irreverent Albert Pla and Peyu are the protagonists of the third issue of the quarterly paper magazine The Promotion, which publishes the El Foment Cultural Foundation for the entire Catalan-speaking world, and which ARA readers in the Girona region will find included free with the newspaper this Sunday, October 12.
